Designer Roksanda Ilincic continued the trend
of voluminous sleeves seen elsewhere this spring/summer 2019
season at London Fashion Week, with her striped jackets and long
dresses sporting the look.
Models wore trench coats and smock dresses while long bright
scarves added pops of color to trousers suits.
Inspired by murals and ceramics, Ilincic put artistic abstract
prints on some of her designs while floaty longer evening gowns
were silky and layered.
The color palette included hibiscus, tobacco, orange, vibrant
blues and lemongrass.
On Sunday, Steven Tai looked to Sofia Coppola's 1999 film "The
Virgin Suicides", and specifically how the director perceived
the 1970s in the drama for his eponymous brand's line.
The Canadian designer used several models living with
disfigurement for the presentation of fitted flared trouser
suits, safari-like and floral jackets, ruffled skirts and looser
outfits with tied rope detailing.
The models feature in a picture project by Tai, photographer
Rankin and charity Changing Faces, which aims to challenge how
beauty is viewed in the fashion industry with portraits of women
with visible scars, conditions and disfigurements.
Several designers have been casting a wider range of models for
their shows this season. At Temperley London, women ranging in
age and profession walked the catwalk alongside professional
models, while at New York Fashion Week, Rihanna's Savage X Fenty
lingerie line show featured models of different sizes.
